The essence of any such requirement should be that Binder/CSV support
segregation of code and data; not that they support wasting storage.
(But what if a data-only CSECT is marked RENT,REFR? Or a renegade
programmer mis-marks a CSECT? I begin to believe that the answer
to Tom Marchant's question:
Do you consider the architecture to be deficient because it does
not provide for the separation of data and instructions?
... is "Yes.")

Is it necessary to round to a page boundary, or only to a cache line
boundary? (Either is subject to architectural change.)
